The eastern part of the Precinct, now North East, has the earliest set- tlers, many coming to the Oblong adjoining, where good titles could be obtained earlier than from the Little Nines. These settlers were principally from New England. Winchell Mountain was a barrier against any move- ment west by the eastern settlers, and the same also from any great emi- gration easterly from those west of it.
Robert Livingston, the first land patentee, had no "partners," and his manor lands were thus earlier taken under a lease, principally by the Pal- atines, who, after the breaking up of the "Camp" on the east side of the Hudson river about 1715, filled the valley of the Roeloff Jansen and the "fer- tile lands" of Copake, the latter being the ancient Takhanick of the Indian. Others from the same source-the Camp-at a later date, about 1750, set- tled in the valley of the Shacameco from its intersection with the Roeloff Jansen, towards its source southeasterly to the vicinity of the Phineas Car-

man mill, where they were met by settlers of a New England ancestry, who had located at an earlier date in and around the "Federal Square, " so called in later years. These had come principally from Connecticut, by way of southern Oblong and Amenia. The western border of the precinct was ad- jacent to the Palatine settlements in Red Hook and Rhinebeck, from whence came the drift of kin toward the east. These are the general features of the earliest settlement of this Precinct. Immigration for a decade and a half subsequent to 1760 from other localities, was of a different character, and all combined gave the precinet a good representation in the Revolutionary war. Reference to the action of the Precinct in regard to this war will give the names of the settlers at that time.
The first "Provincial Congress" of New York, met in New York City, May 22, 1775, and Peter Van Brugh Livingston was its president. It held three sessions, May 22, July 26, October 4, and dissolved November 4, 1775.
The second Provincial Congress was elected November 7, 1775, con- vened Nov. 14, 1775, and remained in force-having several sessions-until the second Tuesday of May, 1776.
The third Provincial Congress was elected in April, 1776, convened in New York May 18, and remained in session until June 30, when it dis- solved, as Admiral Howe appeared at Sandy Hook with a fleet having a portion of the British army.
In consequence of the British having possession of New York, the fourth Provincial Congress met at White Plains July 9, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was received and approved unanimously, and on the following day, July 10, it was "resolved and ordered that the style and title of this house be changed from that of the 'Provincial Congress of the Colony of New York' to that of . The Convention of the Representatives of the State of New York.'"
This "Convention"-afterwards so called-changed its sittings to Har- lem July 29, 1776, to Fishkill August 29, where it had short sessions at dif- ferent times until February 11, 1772, when it adjourned to Kingston. Here it met March 6, 1777, adopted the State constitution April 20, 1777, and dissolved May 13, 1717. The peril and travail of the Colony of New York had passed, and the State of New York was born.
During the recesses of these congresses their powers were assumed and exercised by a "Committee or Council of Safety," so called and frequently mentioned in the military papers of that time. They raised troops, com- missioned officers, disbursed taxes, and defined and punished offences against society and the government, including treason.
"At a meeting of committees from the Precinets of Rhinebeck, North East, Amenia and Rumbout in the County of Dutchess, held at Charlotte Precinct in the said County on Friday, April 14, 1775, Messrs. Morris Graham, Robert R. Livingston, Jun. and Egbert Benson were elected dep- uties to represent the said county in the Provincial Congress at the city of New York on the 20th instant, and to represent the respective Precmets,

The next day after the adjournment of the convention in New York City to attend which the above delegates were chosen, the report of the battle of Lexington arrived. Very soon thereafter, not more than ten days, a sort of pledge and protest against the government of England was gen- erally circulated for signatures throughout the province of New York. It first appears for "Goshen, Orange County, April 29, 1775." The following is a copy :
" GENERAL ASSOCIATION.
" A general association agreed to and subscribed by the Freeholders and inhabitants of the County of Orange (name of County was changed to correspond with locality .- I. H.) in the Province of New York. Persuaded that the salvation of the rights and liberties of America depend under God, on the firm union of its inhabitants in a vigorous prosecution of the meas- ures necessary for its safety, and convinced of the necessity of preventing the anarchy and confusion which attend a dissolution of the powers of government, Il'e the freemen, freeholders and inhabitants of the county of Orange being greatly alarmed at the avowed design of the Ministry to raise a revenue in America, and shocked by the bloody scene now acting in the Massachusetts Bay, Do in the most solemn manner resolve never to be- come slaves, and do associate under all the ties of religion, honor and love of our country to adopt and endeavor to carry into execution whatever measures may be recommende 1 by the Continental Congress, or resolved upon by this Provincial Congress for the purpose of preserving our consti- tution and opposing the execution of the several arbitrary and oppressive acts of the British Parliament, until a reconciliation between Great Britain and America on constitutional principles (which we most ardently desire) can be obtained; and that we will in all Siings follow the advice of our re- spective committees, respecting the purposes aforesaid, the preservation of peace and good order and the safety of individuals and private property."
The substance of this was a pledge to sustain the action of the Conti- nental Congress or General Colonial Congress at Philadelphia, and the Pro- vincial Congress of New York, and also sustain the committees appointed by each, as the Committees were delegated the power of Congress during its adjournments.
North East Precinct was apportioned into districts for the circulation of the "Association," and committees assigned to each district to make the canvass. Those willing to sign it, wrote their names or ordered the commit- tee to do it, which was so entered on the roll, and those refusing to sign were enrolled by the committee. This canvass was made in June and July, 1775.

Uriah Lawrence in the extreme east end of the Precinct, reports as signers, "Seth Case, Jun., Benoni Welldien, Charles Graham, Ichabod Case, John Bull, Benjamin Eggleston, Luther Hawley, Josiah Hawley, David Lawrence, Abraham Hartwell, Joseph Randall, Uriah Lawrence, Philip Spencer, John Porter, Elisha Colver, Samuel Neeley, Samuel Row, David Harvey, Seth Case, Thomas Merritt, James Wager, Stephen Truesdel, Jon -. athan Lawrence, Ebenezer Hartwell, Seth Perry, Ebenezer King, Gilbert Clapp, Jeremiah Brownell, James Atwater, Joseph Peck, Joshua Hamblin, Archabel Johnston, Simon Dakin, Stephen Merritt, Alexander McMullin, Adam Stevens, John Buttolph, Thomas Knapp.
Refusing to sign, Daniel Buttolph, Peter Knapp, John Hawley.
URIAH LAWRENCE, Committee."
Elisha Colver is put down as a signer of the association in the list of Uriah Lawrence and is put down as "refusing to sign" in the list of Wil- liam Stewart, Nathaniel, Mead, etc., Elisha Colver, Sen., was one of "His Majesty's Justices," had taken oath as such under the King, and was living at this time. He could not sign this association, holding that office, without violating his official oath. He had a son Elisha, who probably is the signer.
Some names in these lists appear on more than one paper which repre- sent the same person. It may be by solicitation or change of opinion where, in some instances, those against, changed to the other side. But taken together, it is nearly if not absolutely, a complete record of the male inhabitants of the North East Precinct in 1775.
In its register it presents a long list of non-associators, which in per- sons deserve a charitable thought and record. The love of liberty and independence of thought in early manhood and middle age, is much a matter of education and surroundings in early life. This Precinct received many of its first immigrants or settlers from the Hudson River settlers, (Palatines) who were educated to believe "the powers that be are ordained of God." In such-and there were many of influence-conscience worked either neutrality or active opposition. Many names in the records of the old Hudson River churches I recognize here, and with significant uniform- ity they are on the lists of non-associators. Others held back from motives of policy. It was a fearful experiment to take arms against the king. There was a mingling of indecision, doubt and confidence, which engen- dered and fed internal hostility and bitterness. It was condemnation to be called "tory," to be watched by committees of safety, and sentenced by courts martial to imprisonment or death. For two years American inde- pendence hung by a gossamer. The pendulum of war swung between self government and obedience to kings, between liberty and slavery. But success came with the victories of 1777. The battle of Oriskany, of Bemis Heights, of Bennington, of Schuylerville, and the surrender of General

John Burgoyne October 17, 1777, turned doubt and indecision into faith and action, and internal hostility and bitterness into friendship and unity.
The Provincial Congress at New York issued military warrants June 28, 1775 to Rufus Herrick, Captain ; Charles Graham, first lieutenant; Jesse Thompson, second lieutenant; all of Northeast Precinct.
"At a meeting of the several companies in the North East Precinct. agreeable to the resolves of the Continental Congress (the Continental Con- gress met in Philadelphia .- I. H.) the following gentlemen were chosen officers in their respective companies :
First Company-Isaac Smith, Captain; Jacob Weaver, First Lieuten- ant; Silas Husted, Second Lieutenant; Michael Row, Jun., Ensign.

Third Company-John Collins, Captain; James Wilson, First Lieuten ant: Zachariah Phillips, Second Lieutenant ; Ensign.

This certifies that the above gentlemen were elected agreeable to the above mentioned resolves. Morris Graham, Hugh Rea, William Stewart, Augustine Graham, David Wilson, Hugh Orr, George Morehouse, members of the committee appointed to attend the election August 26, 1775."
These companies in connection with five other companies from Rhine- beck Precinct, formed a regiment officered as follows: Petrus Ten Broeck, Colonel ; Morris Graham, Lieut. Col. ; Simon Westfall, 1st Major; Jonathan Landon, 2d Major; William Stewart, Adjutant ; Hendrick VanHovenbergh,. Quartermaster. Their commissions were issued October 17, 1775.
At this time the First Regiment of "minute men" was raised of which John Van Ness was Colonel. He died before March 28, 1776, when Lieut. Col. Cornelius Humphrey of the same regiment became Colonel; Robert G. Livingston, 1st Major; James Reed, 2d Major ; Reuben Hopkins, Adjutant ; Joseph Ketchum, Jr., Quartermaster. There were eight companies in the regiment. Two from Rhinebeck, one from Fishkill, two from Char- lotte Precinct, one from North East, and two from Amenia.
First Charlotte Company-Smith Sutherland, Capt. , Zachrias Marshall, 1st Lient. ; Uriah Sill, 2d Lieut. ; Stephen Haight, Ensign.
Second Charlotte Company-Melancthon Smith, Captain ; Isaac Bloom, 1st Lieut .; William Mead, 2d Lieut .; William Tremper, Ensign. This Company was commissioned Feb. 22, 1776.

Lieut. ; Ebenezer Carter, 2d Lieut. ; Andrew Shaw, Ensign. This Company was commissioned Nov. 3, 1775. Other companies commissioned Oct. 19, 1775, except Captain Smith above.
In 1775 four Continental regiments were raised in the state of New York, and thus designated, First New York; Second Albany; Third Ulster; Fourth Dutchess. The regiment from Dutchess had the following field and company officers at its organization, June 30, 1775: James Holmes, Col. (from Westchester Co.): Philip Courtlandt, Lieut. Col. ; Barnabas Tuthill, Major; Benjamin Chapman, Quartermaster. Companies-Henry B. Liv- ingston, Captain; Jacob Thomas, first Lieut .; Roswell Wilcox, second Lieut ..- Jonathan Platt, Captain ; David Daw, first Lieut. ; Manning Bull, second Lieut .- Rufus Herrick, Captain ; Charles Graham, first Lieut : Jesse Thompson, second Lient .- Daniel Mills, Captain ; Elijah Hunter, first Lieut. ; John Bailey, second Lieut .- Ambrose Horton, Captain; David Palmer, , first Lient. ; Saml.

Livingston, Captain: Leonard Ten Broeck, first Lieut. ; Andries Hermance, second Lieut .- Henry G. Livingston, Captain; Samuel Van Vechten, first Lieut. ; William Matthewman, second Lient .- Jacobus Wyn- koop, Captain ; Anthony Welch, first Lieut. ; Thomas LeRoy, second Lieut. -Joseph Benedict, Jun., Captain: William Wilcox, second Lieut. ; Eben- ezer Haviland, Surgeon; Isaac Smith, Surgeon's mate.
At the same time a regiment was being raised in "Charlotte Precinct." which adjoined North East Precinct on the south, and is of historical interest to North Eastern Dutchess. The officers of this regiment were David Sutherland, Col .; Roswell Hopkins, Lient Col. ; Simeon Cook, 1st Major; Richard de Cantelon, 2d Major; Joseph Carpenter, Adjutant; Daniel Shephered, Quartermaster. No record of the Surgeon at this time, but January 2, 1777, Matthias Burnet Miller was appointed surgeon by the Provincial Congress, the regiment being then in actual service. There were thirteen companies in the regiment officered respectively as follows:
1st-William Barker, Capt .; Job Mead, 1st Lient .: Noah Hopkins, 2d Lieut. : Abner Gillet, Ensign.
2d-Brinton Paine, Capt. ; Ist Lieut., Samuel Waters; 2d Lieut., Ichabod Holmes; William Brush, Ensign.
